Health insurers are proposing significant premium increases for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces in 2027, with a median increase of 14% reported in early filings. This follows the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits at the end of 2025, which has already led to substantial out-of-pocket premium hikes and a decrease in coverage. Several major insurers, including Cigna Group, Centene, UnitedHealthcare, and CVS Health (Aetna), have announced exits from the ACA market, further contributing to a smaller and potentially less healthy risk pool, which in turn drives up premiums for remaining enrollees.
